ASBESTOSIS

Asbestosis is a non-cancerous asbestos disease which develops 20-30 years after significant exposure. It is a chronic respiratory disease that is marked by fibrosis (scarring) and stiffness of the lung, usually detected by medical professionals upon medical imaging (x-ray or CT scan). It may lead to severe shortness of breath and could become life-threatening. Asbestosis cases are compensable through civil lawsuits, bankruptcy claims, and Missouri Workers’ Compensation claims.
